Bloody Death

Princess Lisa

Princess Lisa was awakened by the sunrise and had sighed.

Lisa: Must my duties always bring me shame?

She looked down at the foot of her bed to an opening door.

Daryll: Princess Lisa, the King & Queen await your presence at the feast.

She nodded and he left. She began her daily route as she picked out a white dress that flowed down her back like an Egyptian garment. The jewels that sparkled around her neck were connected to her dress. She wore a big headpiece and made her way to the throne room. The King arose from his seat and lifted his cup to the people.

King: Let us celebrate our daughter, your precious Queen to be, with a feast! To the Princess Lisa Presley of Norway!

Subjects: To the Princess Lisa Presley of Norway!

They repeated. Princess Lisa smiled and was seated.

Queen: Darling! How nice of you to join us.

Lisa: Darling mother. I never dreamed..

Queen: What is it darling?

Lisa: Nothing mother..

They feasted with their fellow citizens of the kingdom, celebrating the eligibility of Princess Lisa. Now, the kingdom awaits the dawning of a new ruler. The Prince that takes Princess Lisa's hand in marriage.

Queen: Lisa, whom is the royal that has wooed you?

Lisa: No Prince in this kingdom mother. My Prince lies in the pastures of my heart..

The Queen smiled.

Queen: This Prince has stolen you. Tis a shame your father and I have never loved.

Lisa: Yes.. Quite a shame.

Princess Lisa sat there in the presence of her subjects and dined with them. Princess Lisa looked into her glass cup and saw the blood red wine. It deformed her face and caught her unseen tear. The depression of love had grabbed her soul. She was being eaten alive by it. Her only problem was not with Prince Michael, but her servant.. Daryll.

After the feast, she walked into her room and onto her balcony. When the stars were out, she heard a sound coming from her room. Princess Lisa turned around in a rush and saw no one. She figured that something in her room had fallen. She went back to gazing at the stars when a presence altered behind her. She instantly turned around and in a flash, she was dragged to her room. The doors to her balcony closing behind her.

Lisa: Help! Help me!

Her cries were muffled by a hand covering her mouth. She was laid down and forced to looked at the person whom had scared her so badly.

Lisa: D-Daryll?

He smiled, something looked wrong to her about him.

Daryll: My love, I have returned to you.

Lisa: Daryll! Oh Daryll, my love!

She embraced him into a hug. He chuckled.. His laugh seemed a bit darker than before.

Daryll: My darling Queen. I have missed seeing your beautiful face.

Lisa: Where were you? The feast was a wreck without you!

Daryll: Preparing for you, my love.

Lisa: Preparing? For me?

Daryll: Yes.. Lisa? You love me, am I correct?

Lisa: Forever and always.

She hugged him again and he laid her down.

Daryll: Would you like to be with me forever?

Lisa: More than anything. I would give my crown, my very life for you.

He smiled wider and then she saw it.. The wrong image.. Fangs.. He had fangs.

Lisa: Daryll..

Daryll: Then this is official..

Lisa: Daryll! Please, explain yourself to me!

Daryll: I love you and I shall see you soon.

Lisa: No Daryll! Explain! Please! I beg of you!

He leaned down towards her lips and kissed her passionately.

Daryll: I shall miss the warmth of thy lips.

He kissed her neck before Lisa let a tear fall out of her eye.

Daryll: Promise me your hand after you be rid of that Prince Michael.

Lisa: Daryll..

A pain in her neck drew blood and earned a loud scream of terror from Lisa's lips. The terrifying sound filled the palace walls and drew attention  to her soldiers. They pounded onto Lisa's door and then bursted into the room to find a lifeless body on her bed and a man in black jumping out of a window after looking back at them to strike fear into their eyes. The soldiers raced to window but found no evidence of a body on the palace grounds. How was this possible?
